Joke

Rings a bell?

The Hunchback of Notre Dame had died and no one had been ringing the bells since his death. A gnome applied to the abbe,but the abbe was put off as the gnome was even uglier than the hunchback had been, and he had a large flat spot in the middle of his forehead. The gnome pleaded for the job and the abbe agreed to test him. The gnome did not touch the ropes,but proceeded to the bell tower, jumping and hitting each bell in the appropriate changes. The flat spot on his face appeared to give great tone to the bells. The abbe gave him the job immediately.

Attendance at church improived dramatically, and people came from near and far to hear the changes sounded. One Sunday morning, however, the gnome ran too fast, missed a bell, and fell several hundred feet SPLAT! on the paving in front of the church. A crowd gathered and one brave soul turned the gnome over. "Who is it?" whispered the crowd. I don't know said the brave soul, but his face rings a bell!!
